Never played persona but according to this guy Digimon Cyber Sleuth is like it.

Ah okay I should've expected it.

Haven't played Pathfinder yet but one of them saying that it's eerily Persona-like got my attention.

i know it'll never happen because it made a trillion dollars anyway but hogwarts legacy as a harry potter-themed persona clone would've went hard

I'd rather play SMT clones.

My pitch for a western persona:

>Male and Female Protagonist Options, it will affect your relationships with other party members (e.g. your best friend will now have a crush on you if you choose to play as female).
>Set in a Boarding School
>Tactical Turn-Based Combat with verticality and destructive environments (think of Silent Storm).
>Plot is basically Code Lyoko… so Code Lyoko.

It takes a long time to write one. Eternights had a lot of Persona inspiration, but it was only about 13 hours long.

I always wanted to make a persona-ish game, but I want to fully exploit the very very slight implication or interpretation that the persona 3 protagonist is sociopathic and "fakes" personalities through his personas to build his social links, and I want to be able to truly fuck over your social links for power boosts or whatever, like sort of the inversion, like when you reach a certain stage of the relationship and they trust you or whatever, you can make them sign a deal with them that steals their soul or something, which powers you up. something like that.

>Loop8: Summer of Gods is a role-playing video game developed by Sieg Games and published by Marvelous Entertainment and XSeed Games. It released in June 2023 for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Windows.
>Loop8 plays as a story-heavy JRPG with turn-based battles. The story is advanced through reading text and selecting response options through a dialogue tree. Multiple paths and endings occur based on said choices. Time management is also an aspect of gameplay - the game plays out on a calendar system, with various actions and choices taking up units of time. Character's moods and reactions vary based on when in the story they are addressed by the player.
>Destructoid favorably compared Loop8 to the Persona series of video games prior to release.
the game is ass though

Persona, and SMT games in general, are like Pokemon. There are plenty of Pokemon clones, no?

There aren't many Pokemon clones if at all and SMT games aren't like Pokemon insofar as you aren't encouraged to collect demons or whatever, rather use them as fodder for more powerful demons

And when people say they want a Persona clone, they mean an RPG tacked to a Tokimeki Memorial style dating sim

There's a game called demonschool that does a similar school life/relationship thing to persona but it's a tactics rpg and the sprite aesthetics look closer to p1/p2 than the other games in the series, but according the the devs they never played persona and the similarities are just a coincidence. It's not out yet though (and got delayed because of silksong)

That's basically what its like to be a subject of neoliberal ideology. The ideal entrepreneurial subject is when you have like three part time jobs ("gigs") who instrumentalizes people for their rational self interest
